I live in the smoking capital of the world: Las Vegas

And I'd say it's 70/30 vaping over cigarettes as I walk through the casinos.

If the govt. really gave a fuck about our health, they would encourage people to move from cigarettes to vaping.
Instead, they are losing billions in "sin tax" that they imposed on the tobacco industry products.

Now they are trying to figure out a way to vilify vaping.
They have to come up with a way to use the media to convince people that water vapor (you know, like in your vaporizer at home, or a steam room, or any stage production with a water based fog machine) is suddenly "dangerous".

That way they can start taxing the hell out of it.


I switched to ecigs purely out of spite, so as to give the govt as little as possible out of my addiction. they gave a fuck about health they'd ban smoking outright. funny as fuck to watch them, and all the other anti-smoking nazis shitting their fucking pants now revenue is decreasing, and there are jobs at stake, and their taxes will have to go up at some point because d'uh, smoking doesn't cost more medically than it brings in.

I'll be a nicotine addicted cunt laughing my addled to fuck lungs out when all that comes
